MU defers law exams by a week

Under tremendous pressure from students, the University of Mumbai on Tuesday postponed the law exams by a week.

The exams, which were earlier scheduled to start from May 22, will now begin on May 30.

The university announced on Tuesday that the dates of 12 exams of three-year and five-year law courses were rescheduled after students demanded more time to prepare for their exams. The demand, according to the university, comes in the wake of delayed declaration of results of several exams of law faculty. “The MU must ensure that the new dates do not clash with the Company Secretary exams. The delay in the declaration of results will affect the current as well as the upcoming academic year,” said Zain Shroff, a student from Jitendra Chauhan College of Law.

He said that the main issue is the delay in declaration of results. The result should have been announced within 45 days of the exams, but even after 100 days have passed, the students are still waiting for it. “We urge the MU and all other stakeholders to synergise their efforts to ensure that the results are declared within the stipulated time,” he added.

“The varsity should ensure that quality of assessment is not hampered. They must provide students a realistic deadline for declaring results before conducting fresh examinations,” said Sachin Pawar, president of the Students’ Law Council, which is spearheading the students’ agitation over delays in results.
